    A year from now, Thomas will be in a pub, have a few drinks, and the story will start with « this one time, Simon and I were in a sauna, and we started talking about ti… ». Had a great time with you in Svalbard my friend!

    "Make uncommon photos of common things." That's my mantra, thanks to Simon. That also works for other types of photography. Not just wildlife. Simon's advice is cross genre advice!

      I agree. I live in Jamaica. Every morning, a hummingbird visits the flowering shrub outside my kids room. We often see them from the window. I recently ordered a used Nikon D5300, I plan to take photos of those hummingbirds as soon as it reached 😊. I have recently added more flowering plants to attract them. I have 3 different species of Hibiscus and they are blooming like crazy. The hummingbirds visits them too. Unfortunately due to the hurrican last Tuesday, I had to cut them down cause the branches were broken. They will soon spring back with more blooms. ❤

    Your first point is near and dear to me. First, I can't really afford a big lens right now. I'm shooting with the XF90mm f2 on my X-T3. But, because I agree with you that the context needs to be there too. I see many birders who constantly crop in really, really, tight. And, while it nice to see that beautiful detail sometimes, it's so much better to me to show the bigger picture. This was such a great instructional video. Thanks so much to both of you!!

    "Sense of Place" is why I started watching landscape videos. I was finding my favourite wildlife shots had great backgrounds or what I called "animal in the environment", and so I thought getting better at landscape photography would help me make good decisions quickly of what landscape to include in my wildlife shots.

    Quite funny, Before this video, I watched Simon's video on landscape photography with Thomas. Thomas suggested a 100-400mm lens for landscape and now their talking about the advantage of using a shorter lens for wildlife photography to show the animal in its environment. It is contrary to general belief, but it makes a lot of sense.

    The nugget - "ISO is the setting that doesn't impact the creative look of the photo". Boom! Don't be obsessed with noise - deal with it in post process to the degree that you can, but nobody (that matters) cares, if the image is creative and impactful.

  • @gearoidosullivan356
    @gearoidosullivan356 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This was a fantastic video guys. Loads of great advice and presented in an easy manner. For good places to practice, I agree that wildlife parks are good, but to add in the getting "uncommon shots of common species", then urban ponds or lakes are great. The animals there are still wild, but habituated to people so you don't have to worry quite as much about disturbance.
    And I am especially happy to hear ye highlight a sense of place as the first point. It can be very hard to overcome the tendency to want to get the "bird on a stick" shot that we're all familiar with. But for me the best shots are practically landscape shots with the animal with the frame (preferably illustrating some behaviour). But to show how difficult that habit is to overcome, I have a friend who is a superb wildlife photographer and has won many awards. He decided he wanted to try something a bit different, and managed to get a beautiful shot of a bird nesting in a dried river bed with the mountains in the background (using a radio trigger to not disturb the birds). When he put that into his next national competition, it didn't even get selected. And yet it is one of his most treasured shots. So, note to others, try not to let external validation inhibit your creativity.

    I started out doing landscape photography but quickly found a passion for wildlife, birds especially. You can spend a fortune on gear but as long as you have one or two decent lenses you can get great results, but Simon’s tips are invaluable and I use most of them from hisTH-cam channel. It can be frustrating but, like most photography, when you get a great shot it really inspires you. Enjoy Thomas and I look forward to seeing you results. 👍

    I take a lot of photos of Swans. Mainly because they are easy to find. But I understand what you were saying about taking photos of the things that are indicative of the species. When taking photos of the Swans, I like to emphasise the long neck, for instance.

I have been amazed at what I wasn’t seeing before I started on this journey. And a 100-400 has, in the main be enough distance.

    I consider myself a wildlife photographer first..especially birds. On recent trips to Portugal in 2022 and Spain in 2023, my long lens was the canon ef 70-300 l on my full frame canon R. Now 300 for birds isn't easy but definitely doable. Love hearing Simon praise wider lenses for wildlife....and i just have to do this..sorry...Simon is 🇨🇦 and does amazing work in his home province of Nova Scotia. Love this collaboration between one of the best landscape photographers, Thomas Heaton, with one of the best wildlife photographers, Simon D'Entramont...hmmmmmm anyone else thinking a remake of the R4 project with wildlife??????

    I started with landscapes when I was a kid really, but in my old age, I find that wildlife (especially birds) keeps me more on my toes. More gear to haul around is a workout. Remembering species names and attributes, is good for the brain as is the additional technical aspects of wildlife photography. Of course both put me out in nature, and that's always a good thing too. overall, a great combination. Welcome to my world!

  • @tamasnemeth2161
    @tamasnemeth2161 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It was a great list of advices for beginners for sure. There is one minor thing Simon did not expose to you, which is that photographing wildlife takes up so much more time than the landscape subject. Just take a look at his smile when you reveal your plan about shooting the local animals. He knows that you're just about to enter some sort of crazy adventure.
    Of course when you're on those exotic trips where wildlife is exposed and abundant, it may seem that it is relatively easy to come home with some nice photos from every session. But this is not exactly true, especially in Europe, where wildlife is not as tame as in for example in North America, due to centuries of hunting. But in reality when you burry yourself into local wildlife - building your own hides, following the seasonal behavior of your subject, etc. - the effort needed to create outstanding photographs is significantly more.
    And if you consider that a walrus lying and doing nothing is a nice subject, the same thing is not exactly true for the common animals, like the sandpiper. You need to learn their behavior by spending days and weeks with them, so you can predict when will the animal do that thing you're trying to capture.
    Wildlife is fascinating but quite time consuming subject. Good luck should follow your

  • @TrueLweek
    @TrueLweek 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think wildlife and landscape goes well together. Both require to be outside on beautiful spots. With 200-600, 70-200 and 16-35 you can cover most of it and still. Or if you don't mind to carry a bit extra then maybe replace 16-35 with 12-24 and 24-70 ... and maybe later replace 200-600 with 300/2.8 + extenders (will save you about 0.7kg of weight).

    I've been photographing wildlife for many years and when I started out, I used to crop in a lot but over time I've noticed that showing the environment is much more interesting and as every man and his dog is taking close ups these days, I'm moving away from it. I used to have a canon full frame with a big Tamron but have moved to a fuji (crop) with their wonderful 100-400. Apparently, many don't think Fuji are wildlife cameras but my XT5 is the bomb. Also love landscapes but I'm not that good at that so I can learn a lot from this. I love Morten Hilmers style which is very much the environmental wildlife as Simon mentions, gives so much more to see where the animals live. I'm looking forward to your wildlife videos

    Hello Thomas, this conversation offers me deep insights in another genre, wildlife photography. I can imagine you learned a lot in a very personal way. Aslking a professinal questions is a very good way to learn and a natural way to teach. As a former teaching scientist I really enjoyed it. Thanks Thomas and also Simon, Bert.

    Agree a sense of place and habitat is important for wildlife photography but more important is the need to tell a compelling story through the photograph. Close ups have their place too. Works as a therapy for the mind.

    I have the Nikon Z 400 2.8. I chose this lens over the 600 for the reasons you discussed. It’s great for capturing the environment and in low light. Need more reach, engage the built in tc for 560mm f4. Good light and need to get closer, throw on the external 2x. I love close ups but the photos I print and hang on my wall end up being the environmental photos❤. I follow and love both your channels!
